Nick of time 5: Closing the Circle:
Nick of Time 5: Closing the Circle
Succubus love nest: January 31st
Nick was lying in bed with Neronica. He was latched on her left boob as she caressed his hair. "You have done all that Carmen requested for your training. Now you will go back to May 2012... Your final weapon is with your Mom." Said Neronica. "While you won't be able to save Carm, at least show her that you grew up to become a good man. One that she'd be proud of." Nick got up.
"Nero this is scary. I don't want to see Mom die! I want to see her again, sure! But, knowing that she's gonna die and despite my powers I can't do anything, it hurts!" Nick wept. "I feel like I'm being stabbed by millions of spikes in the heart. But, I have no choice. It almost feel as if eternal suffering is the price I have to pay for all the amazing lovemaking I get. I'd give up all my powers to save her."
"That's why you're a good man, Nick." Said Neronica. "That's why my daughter and the rwst of your *ahem* harem love you. But now I must go to work and then return to my husband until you come back... and satisfied the girls, I want to have another session. My boobs will miss your lips." Neronica got dressed and left the apartment.
Nick sat on the bed before hitting the shower when Renet Popped up. "Better get dressed dude, we're going to finish your official time travel shenanigans. Though the Interdimensional ones aren't over. Now let me go over the rules on this particular one." Said Renet as she kept staring at the showering Nick. "Your Mom dying is a canon event for all timelines. You cannot change that. I've seen you destroy the Earth 10^10¹⁰⁰-ish times trying. I'm begging you. Don't try to change a fixed point in time."
"I have to try!" Exclaimed Nick as he got off the shower and got dressed via menu.
"Salagadoola menchicka boola
Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo
Put 'em together and what have you got?
Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!" Said Renet as Nick ended up in
***
Del Valle-Rodriguez residence: AbueObed's secret hangar:
Nick appeared at the secret hangar when Alarms began to sound. "Warning! Chronal Displacement energy detected. Authorized subject detected. Corrupted DNA detected. Exposure to Utromic waste material causing Genetic Anomaly on subject Nicolás Ramón Barril. Subject recognized. Due to Chronal Deslcement energy surrounding User Nicolás Ramón Barril, settings will not be saved." Said Jenny.
"Jenny, status update on Obed, Lydia, and Carmen." Said Nick.
"User Obed Del Valle is delivering Nicolás Ramón Barril to hs father in New York. U-"
"Ya basta Jenny." Lydia interrupted. "Pollito, no hay tiempo para saludos, ya que Lilith se aerca y tenemos que terminar el ritual ahora." Said Lydia as she pulled Nick towards a hidden room that was hide from Detective mode. Nick bega crying. An emaciated Carmen was sitting on the bed with tears barely coming out her eyes.
"Mamita..." said Nick. "We have to go Lilith..." Carmen put her bonyfinger on Nick's lips.
"Niquito. No. I'm not runnng. I'm fighting Lilith." Said Carmen weakly but with Determination."Al Niquito actual se le bloquearon los poderes y serán imperceptibles hasta que tenga 18. Pero te transferiremos a ti, Nico adulto, Mis poderes y los de Mami. De hoy en Adelante nos tendrás a mí y a Abueydia siempre en tu corazón, Nico." Nick began crying.
"No! Mejor me sacrifico yo para salvarlas." Said Nick Crying. "¡No te voy a dejar morir ésta vez!" Exclaimed Nick while crying hard. Carmen opened her arms as Nick went for the hug and began crying even harder. Nick cried so hard that Carmen's hospital robe was loaded with Nick's tears, drool, and mucus. "No me dejes por favor. No quiero que te vayas. No me dejes solo por favor." Nick kept crying as Carmen kept caressing his head.
"Niquito, ya. Deja de llorar. No hay otra alternativa. It's the only way to protect Past You."
Said Carmen with tears in her eyes. "The only thing that saddens me is that I never got to see you grow. I knew about your exploits as I have gotten glimpses of the Futire from Neronica. But there is no other way."
"Ven, Pollito, que ya vamos a empezar. Carmencita, Pollito desvistanse." Said Lydia as she disrobed. "It's not what you think. Yes, we're Succubi and you're an Incubus, but this ritual doesn't involve sex." Said Lydia. "It's a bit violent and we don't want pur clothes to get destroyed in the process." Said Lydia as she transformed into a six winged copy of Lilith, but younger. Carmen recovered some of her vitality but she looked more like a vampire.
"La vampiresa de Moca es mi mamá..." said Nick as his hair turned red and his nails and hair grew slightly. "So, how do we do this?" Asked Nick as Carmen and Lydia charged up Energy that violently entered Nick's body.
"Así, Pollito, resiste." Said Lydia as her body returned to human form.
"Carmencita, resiste." Said Lydia as Carmen struggled with transfering the energy.
"¡Niquito! ¡Deja de reenviarme la energía!" Exclaimed Carmen as she returned to her emaciated form. "Ya está hecho. Tus habilidades deben de estar desbloqueadas. Oh no... ¡Papá!" Yelled Carmen as Lydia fainted.
"Ah, so here are my wayward daughter, her daughter, and how deliciously ironic! My little Incubus." Said Lilith as she threw Obed's Corpse.
"Damn You Lilith!" Said Nick as he materialized his clothes and a large sword to impale the Succubus Queen.
"We both know that I don't die today, my dear Incubus." Said Lilith as she blasted Lydia, fatally wounding her.
"Aboueobed, Abueydia! You Bitch! I'LL MAKE YOU SUFFER!!" Exclaimed Nick as he went on a berserker rage against Lilith. The Succubus Queen was able to block and parry most of Nick's attacks. The berserker rage was clouding Nick's judgment and he became sloppy. Lilith was able to gain the upper hand.
"You're Useless! Might as well eliminate you and try again with the younger version." Said Lilith as she prepared her death blast. Firing the attack, Lilith was unable to hit Nick as Carmen had used the last of her strength to protect her son.
"Niquito, te quiero con el corazón y la vida." Said Carmen as the light in her eyes faded and life left her frail body. Nick grabbed his Mom's body.
"Mamita, Mamita... no me dejes... Por favor..." Nick sobbed as he felt his heart being ripped into pieces. A soul shattering bestial scream escaped his mouth. Seeing red, Nick lost control of his body. The power of Wrath kept pounding Nick's head as he felt his body transform into a demonic brute...
☆"My name is Nicolás Ramón Barril, you killed my Mother, Prepare to Die!"☆ chanted Nick in Daemonese as he lumbered towards Lilith. She tried to teleport but couldn't. ☆"I sealed your powers, Lilith, for I am the mighty Incubus and current Avatar of Lust."☆ said Nick as he grabbed Lilith's Neck and squeezed it long enough to see her faint, but stoppong before actually killing her. "I can easily kill you Lilith. I've done it thousands of times already." Said Nick. "But that won't bring her back. You will leave with your life today, but you WILL STAY AWAY FROM ME UNTIL I'M AN ADULT!" Commanded Nick as he branded a curse mark on Lilith's lower back right above her butt.☆"IF YOU GET REMOTELY CLOSE TO MY YOUNG SELF OR ANYONE CLOSE TO ME BEFORE OUR FATED ENCOUNTER, I WILL KILL YOU!!"☆ said Nick as he broke Lilith's arms and legs. "Marilith! Take Lilith away and make sure she doesn't try to locate me until her curse mark is gone." Nick turned his back towards Lilith who was screaming in pain. "Go now. I have to mourn." Said Nick. As Marilith took Lilith away, Nick picked up his grandfather. Using some VG Logic, he made the wounds on Obed's body disappear and made it look like a heart attack. Putting Carmen on her bed, Nick had her lay down peacefully as he used VG Logic and demon powers to make her look like she died of natural causes. Last but not least, Nick used the Possession technique and made his grandmother's corpse stage a hanging.
Few minutes later he went to the Wagner-Rodriguez household and knocked on the door.
María Milagros opened the door and Nick had disguised himself as Solidus.
"María Milagros Wagner-Rodriguez?" Said Nick.
"Se sobre la conexión entre su familia y la familia Del Valle-Rodriguez." Said Nick with an obvious gringo accent. "George Sears, EPF. We can't communicate with Mr. Obed Del Valle and I'm looking to make a Wellness check on him WITHOUT breaking doors. Would you kindly check in on him?" Asked Nick.
Maria Milagros said something in German. One phrase bugged Nick: 'Metalgetriebe'. It sounds like.
"Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty." Said Viktor. "Ihr Name ist derselbe wie Solidus." Nick finally noticed the P7 aimed at Nick's Torso. "You're not fooling me with your false name." Said Viktor. "You better answer with the truth, Solidus." Said Viktor when María Milagros Screamed.
"We have to help your wife." Said Nick as tears began forming on his face.
As both Viktor and Nick enter AbueObed's house, they find María Milagros trying to give Obed CPR.
"Er ist tot! Sie sind alle tot!" Said Nick unable to hide his tears. "Mamita... ¿por qué me abandonaste?" Nick Mumbled as Viktor realized what 'George Sears' said. "I have to call it in." Said Nick as he wiped his tears before using the landline to call the EPF station nearby. Once Nick hung up the phone, Viktor tapped him on the shoulder.
"Der Zeitreisender? Nikolaus?" Said Viktor. Nick nodded.
"I couldn't save them. Please protect my grandparents' secrets until I'm of age." Said Nick as he turned away. "I must go before the Men in Black show up. See you in 12 years."
Said Nick as he went behind the house and Renet sent him back to the future.

MuTeens NYC HQ Rooftop: current year
Nick appeared on the rooftop with Renet.
"You didn't try to save your Mom as badly as I was expecting." Said Renet. "Why?"
"I realized it would've been a losing battle. Lilith would've killed them if kid me had died. Me dying in her place would have meant Lilith winning and seducing me to the Dark Side." Said Nick. "I hate myself for it, but it was the best option. I pulled an Orochimaru on Lilith, though. I siphoned her powers with a curse Mark. She fought me for thousands of years in an illusory deathtrap... allowing me to beat her without my full Incubus powers."
"The tsukuyomi." Said Renet. "Dude, I've seen Naruto. So... now that you and Ashley have unlocked your powers... what now?"
"We've been taking some online courses. Maybe I might give College a try. Working on a double major: Education and Theater Arts with a minor in Journalism." Said Nick.
"Switch Journalism with Business Administration... for your Mutie School, Charles." Said Renet. "Ashley is going for Business Administration, Cooking, and a minor in Cinematography. I just talked with her." Renet giggled. "In any case, Shouldn't you be heading downstairs... I believe Celeste's parents brought some Saint Kocho." Said Renet as she vanished.
Nick got back inside.

Sublevel: Mess Hall
Celeste and her parents were setting up everything for the Sancocho. Viktor noticed Nick was a bit distraught.
"Nikolaus, waren Sie George Sears?" Asked Viktor. Nick nodded as Viktor placed his hand on Nick's shoulder. "Du bist ein guter Junge. Nein, ein guter Mann. You are a good man, Niko... You have heart. I haven't forgotten how you saved my daughter." María Milagros grabbed Nick for a second.
"Niquito, quiero que sepas que te queremos mucho. Especialmente Celeste. No estás solo. Pero tienes que dejarnos entrar, Nicolás." Said María Milagros as she hugged Nick. "Ya estoy loca por que le pongas una bebé a Celi. Porque va a ser niña."
Nick smiled weakly as he tried to hide in a corner. Pain, Sorrow, Fear, Fury were welling up inside.
"Nico, tengo que decirte algo." Said Celeste as she sat next to him. "Algo." Said Celeste while giggling. Nick simply kissed her.
"Celi... vi a mi mamá morir y no pude hacer nada." Said Nick while crying. "She died saving me... this journey was supposed to help me move on, but I feel like I've regressed." Celeste hugged Nick as he cried on her shoulder.alicia, Barbara, Natsumi, Ashley, Chloe, Carlotta, and the rest of "Nick's girls" hugged him.
"Nicola, non hai capito l'atto della tua mamma." Said Carlotta. "She gave her life for young you, KNOWING that her sacrifice would make you a good man. Your trip to the past was to show your Mom that her choice was the right one."
"But what about my pain?" Asked Nick.
"What about it?" Said Grace. "You told me that your pain motivates you to protect others from suffering the same way you do. I never met your Mom, but I'm willing to bet that her thoughts were full of regret for causing you pain. On the other hand your pain saved me. WE'RE A FAMILY THANKS TO YOUR MOM'S SACRIFICE!" Exclaimed Grace. "Stand tall and proud that you showed your Mom that you grew up to be not only a good man, but Earth's savior. Now let's eat, because that beef stew smells delicious!" Said Grace.

Harlem:
Syrus, Bertram, Natsumi, and Nick were running across the rooftops looking for any criminal activity. Syrus seemed unusually determined while Bertram was a bit more happy-go-lucky. Natsumi was silent while Nick seemed normal.
"The Original Four together for the first time since that EPF mission in the Everglades a bunch of months ago." Said Nick with a bit of Nostalgia. Various EPF Agents showed up and surrounded the MuTeens. As the Airship hovered atop a rooftop, Bishop spoke through Bertram's earpiece.
"Private Payne, was it? Return home MuTeens as we have a Mission for you. I'll explain in person at your HQ." Said Bishop before the EPF agents began to fall back.
"MuTeens, Bishop needs our help. Let's head home." Said Bertram.
"Wait... it's just us 4 or 3 if SyBert fuse together." Said Nick. "New Incubus power allows me to teleport up to 4 people short distances. I could shave off half the Distance." Said Nick as his hair went red and six energy wings popped out of his back. "Hold on to me!"
Nick said in a commanding voice.

MuTeens NYC HQ:
SyBert, Natsumi and Nick arrived at the HQ soaking wet and smelling like hell.
"Bakana nīchan, omaenoseide oretachi wa azarashi mitaina nioi ga surunda!" Exclaimed Natsumi as she went to her room to take a shower.
"It was interesting to feel demonic teletransportation of organic matter, but the landing was not enjoyable." Said Syrus as he too left for a shower.
"I'MMA TAKE A SHOWER! P.U. I Reek! Thanks a lot, Cade! 'I got a new power, it'll save some time, my ass!'" Said Bertram as he went for a shower as well.
Barbara looked at Nick. "Shower. Now. Don't try to mask it with Drakkar Noir, Gracie will know." Nick went for a shower.
---
Bishop entered the Hideout as the OG four return. They were able to remove the Seal stench, but Nick went a bit too heavy on the Drakkar Noir.
"Aside of Eastern European criminals, only a Cade would abuse Drakkar Noir this much." Said Bishop.
"Hello, children." Said Bishop. "We have a situation. Remember your little Doctor Who Speech? Well, some Troceratons have made a base on an Island off the coast of Costa Rica." Ashley's eyes widened and she played a clip with fitting music. "No, Ashley. It's not exactly like Jurassic Park. There are Dinosaurs involved, but this is more like-"
"Operation intrude N313. Infiltrate the enemy fortress Outer Heaven, Destroy the final weapon Metal Gear!!" Said Barbara.
"Metal Gear!?" Replied Nick.
"Whatever. But yes, you're to infiltrate the island, fond out what the Triceratons are doing and put a stop to it, if it's bad for Earth." Said Bishop. "You leave in an hour. Also, this mission is for the Original EPF trained MuTeens and Alicia, who will be your Woman in the Chair. Ashley will act as an in-between communications backup whole the remaining members will infiltrate from different points." Said Bishop. "You will receive EPF grade Equipment, although your outfits will not carry EPF markings. Officially you'll be operating on your own. Unofficially you'll have limited support by us. Let's go." Said Bishop as he walked towards an unknown exit.
"I'm disappointed Cade that you left this exit active."
"I knew it would've been useful, Uncle John..." replied Nick as the MuTeens followe Bishop.
